Abagar Quartet - Prayer (2025) [Hi-Res]

The album "Prayer" by the Abagar Quartet is an exploration of the sacred dimension of Bulgarian choral polyphony, blending classical tradition with Orthodox chants and traditional folk songs. Drawing on the centuries-old tradition of women's choral a cappella singing, the quartet aimed to achieve a crystal-clear, cathedral-like sound that replicates cathedral acoustics and transports the listener into a space evoking both the intimacy of ancient prayer and the majesty of timeless ritual. The album transforms ancient Bulgarian vocal traditions into a living experience, serving as both a homage to heritage and an invitation to transcendence, where voices are interwoven into an invocation of eternity.
